Harris Computer

Harris Computer is a software holding company founded in 1976 by Nigel Harris, whose original idea was a computer-operated automated accounting system. The company has since built and acquired software businesses over several decades, and has been part of Constellation Software since 1996. It provides mission-critical software solutions to thousands of customers worldwide across five markets: Public Sector, Healthcare, Utilities, Private Sector and Insurance.

Its technical work spans enterprise software and automated accounting systems. The group's stated approach is to acquire software businesses with growth potential and to provide them with a long-term "forever home" rather than to sell them on. Operating reach is global, and the company describes itself as focused on permanent ownership of the businesses it buys.

Internally, Harris Computer works to ten core values, which include respect for the individual above all else, unwavering discipline, and a preference for finding solutions over dwelling on problems. The company states that it empowers the people closest to the work to make decisions and that it is committed to helping employees realise personal and professional goals.
